Thanks to the wide range of cosmetics and the popularization
of beauty classes on YouTube, it is becoming easier to do make-up at home with
a semi-professional result. In addition, according to several studies carried
out in 2017, cosmetics in Spain is a sector that has not stopped growing in recent
years. Both in sales data (it is estimated that Spaniards spend 147 euros a
year taking care of their image) and in terms of exports, this places the
sector ahead of wine or footwear.
On a personal level, it can be a good investment to choose a
basic set of inexpensive clothes that allow us to apply makeup on a daily
basis. What must be taken into account so that this kit is as complete as
possible? For the national make-up artist of Guerlain, Elisier Prinz, the main
products that we should bet on to achieve a natural shine in our cosmetic
routine are: “A makeup base lightly coated in the same tone of your skin that
unites and unites improves the skin . Good mask, moisturizing concealer and
natural medium coverage that can be modulated, blush and lipstick. "In the
summer months, there is the idea of" including foods that lift the tan and
give the effect of kissing the sun. "For example, terracotta [shade]
because it provides a tanning effect without the need to sunbathe on the face.
It improves your natural skin tone, "explains Prince.
Regarding utensils and accessories, the Spanish make-up
artist Guerlain highlights the following: “A good makeup brush and sponge, a
blush brush, another for terracotta and another for powders. Also a sponge
brush to blend everything you apply to your eyes. It is better to apply the
lipstick directly on the lip, without using brushes. "If you choose a
liquid makeup sponge, although Prince does not recommend them, he prefers
brushes, choose a silicone one because" it is a much more hygienic, more
natural and with less coverage. And to order dishes, he points out that
"it is better to have them in sight" and buy "a nice little bag
in which you can have all the brushes, but without mixing them, so that your makeup
is clean".
This is a selection of 15 essential products suitable for
all skin tones and types that we have prepared in EL PAÍS Showcase for a basic
